Eating out can be such a nightmare, and that can be an added stress for the family too. I used to HATE eating out and I'd be so stressed - why? because I didn't trust myself, I was scared I would over indulge and then blow my healthy eating plan, which in the past led to being off track for days - weeks - and beyond because I would beat myself up over "cheating". But this made myself and my family miserable. NOW - I am prepared - I know the local restaurants and what I will order (for example I LOVE Panera's salmon salad only 352 calories) - so when the family wants to go out we go some where I can just relax and enjoy what I know I can have. If we are on vacation or out for the day - I bring water and protein bars and apples and plain air popped popcorn - so I don't GET HUNGRY!!! When we eat out I have a BIG plain salad first (dressings are often high in calories) or just add a little oil and vinegar. Then have a nice fish or chicken (steamed or baked) with a veggie (NO oil or butter). I usually get salmon or fish since I really like these but don't make them that often at home so it's a real treat. This way I'm not hungry, and I'm enjoying myself. If the family gets deserts I get a cup of coffee or diet soda - and I may have a small bite or two of their desert. But I do it CONSCIOUSLY and savor it and enjoy it - and I don't beat myself up over it! KEYS TO SUCCESS - be prepared, don't go out to eat hungry! Health and Happiness, Lady Rose Great ADVICE!
